    I love photos of trains, old and new and this one is special. I like the POV and great detail you captured. BW suits the age of the loco - I say that because it's older than me - just!

      G'day mate

      Yep- the mono treatment fills it in nicely and I can almost feel the soot in my hair as it flies past, whistle blowing ...

          If you want to hear it go to You Tube and type in Steam in The valley 2011. You will be blown away.

        A really well processed image Benji, I'm a big fan of black & white.

          Thanks Grumpy! The sky was white and quite cloudy and the sun above them was at camera left, making a HUGE softbox of the sky. Black locomotives are a nightmare to photograph in full sunshine unless you can get it early in the morning or late in the evening when it is low on the horizon.
